WarpSpeed Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 1/3 on dipstick in no way represents 1/3 of the volume........... all this is doing is measuring the LEVEL of the oil not the volume. No it doesn't, could represent 1/3rd of a quart though or maybe more.. see my original post...... Ermm can you say tongue in cheek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplebank999 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm surprised that no-one has realised yet that there really is no point in trying to discuss anything on here once WarpedSeed has opined. As he suggested, we can all discuss a subject but bear in mind that the answer he gives will always, without exception, be the correct one. He has the ultimate knowledge about everything connected to motor vehicles, the rest of us are just plain wrong and always will be. Simple as that. Err..maybe. Ut oh envy is the devils work, not sure why you brought me back into this? You must be feeling depressed and needed a good arse kicking to wake you up again. Tell me then besides other valid points who else here brought up cavitation and damaging air production introduced into the oil to impeded proper lubrication from the crank hitting the oil? Rhetorical BTW.. Wow, you gave me a real savaging there, the sort you'd get from a toothless sheep. Believe me, envy is way, way down on the list of emotions I feel when you start metaphorically kicking people in the teeth, but as I said, you must be right, you are the expert. You're certainly the expert in telling others you're the expert. It's a shame that your expertise doesn't extend to interpreting what I was actually saying, i.e. there's no need for you to be so bloody dogmatic about everything you post, you appear to not want anyone else to express any opinion after you've had your say.

WarpSpeed Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I don't savage people (sadly I believe you may fall into that category) I just put them in their place and then get back on topic whereas people like you have nothing better to do then troll and intentionally create havoc, Now where is your advice to the OP?

"Triple-ank999, can someone fill in the blank." Yes, it's "B", and if you want to be even more juvenile what's missing from this, Ace of Po_? You are right, sometimes controversial posts are interesting, what is not interesting is when he, to use his own words, "puts people in their place" and expects everyone else to be his yes-men. If you're subservient enough to accept that kind of treatment so be it. Edited September 26, 2014 by Triplebank999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have none then move on and stop making the thread about you and your bruised ego. "I don't savage people..." Neither do you recognise sarcasm. Even with a qualifying comment to help you. "I just put them in their place..." Who are you to assume the position to put anyone in their place? "...have nothing better to do then troll and intentionally create havoc..." I made one accurate observation and expressed my opinion, the "havoc" is not being perpetuated by me. "If you have none then move on..." Is there a requirement by the forum not to read threads unless one is giving advice to every poster? I don't think so, except maybe in your rule book. "...you and your bruised ego." Whose bruised ego? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercool Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 There has been too much bickering in this topic and that has been reported to Moderators now. Rather than go back and remove all baiting posts and the nested quotes of replies etc. we will see what happens now after this moderator comment and start giving out warning points and/or suspension if people won't cool down. petercool - Moderator Team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong! Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Perhaps the issue is where the dealer is sourcing his oil, a US versus Imperial measures perhaps? A difference of the amount suggested by the OP seems to point to that as the cause. Dunno, you're the experts.Why? Only the yanks use archaic units of measurement for volume.

Wong! Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 On my truck they (Nissan) say to turn the key over one notch to supply power and wait 5 seconds before starting - I guess it is to pressurize something?
